Re: Monitor Users Web activity

I just went through this setup myself. If you complete newbie - it might be too much to handle. But in a nutshell - it is done via Logging capabilities of Mikrotik. And there is 2 ways to approach. And you don't get any kind of "reporting" with stats, etc out of Mikrotik. Mikrotik has all ...

Re: How to Save Browsing history of clients through Mikrotik

Not in all cases. Imagine an DOS from one of your clients. Where should I put it? At the end (where script put's it) - there is nothing in log First - there is no duplicated entries. If you have two lines with the same content one by one - there was two connections. Good to know. But even if it's 2...

Great, thank you for the info! I would like to point that this firewall rule need to be moved to the top in order for this info to be captured. I have couple of simple questions: 1. What is "syn" exactly? Does it capture ANY activity? Basically any TCP packets sent through router will be c...

Re: What kind of tunnel do I need in my case? Pointers needed

Actually, I made it to work and it works well! Using their manual. But I made it static. My home IP changes when there is issue with provider router, probably 2-3 times a year so I'm running it like this for now. Will need to figure out scripting to make it bulletproof.

Hi!

Thank you for reply. However, sample provided doesn't cover my scenario. On one end I have dynamic IP. My office MT has static IP and my home MT has dynamic IP. Is there any instruction on how this can be done? Hopefully without any scripts or DNS lookups (because there is no dynamic DNS at home)

Ok, I guess simple fix and I guess this will be a problem for many newbies who uses auto-config. If I change base IP and range and click "Apply" in Auto-config - almost everything was great except that DHCP server setup DNS name server stayed .88.1 and of course "no internet".

This will actually cause the pinhole on all interfaces, but port 8080 shouldn't matter. If it does matter, you can limit the rule a little more by adding a criteria dst-address=!192.168.0.0/16 - so the LAN IP won't have the pinhole - just the public IP. Can you explain why would it matter for examp...
